"Weak"; a word originating from the Proto-Germanic "waika" meaning yield, and the Old English "wāc" meaning "not-steadfast". The importance of improving upon one's weakness can be derived from the etymology of the word itself. Arguably one of the greatest qualities found within a human is steadfastness; that in life, one remains strong and perseveres through every trial, never yielding to the adversity that lies before them. Therefore, when the greatest adversity is found within, we are challenged to rise above our apparent weakness and remain victorious in our own right.

a letter to the boy who skips 4th period
i wish to be a writer i truly do but as money is the end to all means and art is absent in the minds of men i shall succumb to the streets of washington a slave to the dutiful dreams of others no longer embraced by the wonder of my own words

as i watched from wherever we were i knew only this: though the world mourned, we were happy, basking for eternity in eachother’s light. he turned to me and smiled. death had granted us no parting.

no parting
if you cannot hold me in your arms, then hold my memory in high regard. and if i cannot be in your life, then at least let me live in your heart.

goodbye old friend
she’s chaotic i know but somehow, by the grace of some god, she is the calm in my chaos, the eye in my storm when she looks at me, the winds stop when she touches me, the sun shines through and when she speaks, the rains dissipate, leaving no trace of my dark despair

just because it didn’t last doesn’t mean it didn’t work out if everything in life was forever there would be no growth

when the sun shone over the meadows and the birds flew high in the sky i would see him when the creek tumbled over its stones and the trees sang with the breeze i would see him i saw his hopes and his dreams i saw his fears from years of longing in his eyes i would see him, all of him for it was only the summer that was blessed with this sight only the summer that knew my greatest desire only the summer that let my love fly higher
